The SOC climatology existed in two versions: the 'Original' set of fields and an 'Adjusted' set in which closure of the ocean heat budget was achieved using inverse analysis. These have now become: NOC1.1 - Previously the 'Original' SOC climatology including Heat flux and wind stress fields, Freshwater flux fields and Meteorological fields NOC1.1a - Previously the 'Adjusted' SOC climatology (climatological monthly fields) including Heat flux fields only. These data can be used for many purposes, including assessing the performance of numerical models, assessing the measurements we get from satellites and understanding how the ocean and atmosphere interact in recent decades.

Funding has been received from the Hadley Centre, UK Meteorological Office for the production and analysis of this collection of data. Taylor, Peter K.
